THE RIGHT WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR OF BATH Cllr dine romero WITH THE cast of west side story.
On Wednesday 27th September 2023 Next Stage Theatre Company and Next Stage Youth were delighted to welcome The Right Worshipful The Mayor of Bath Cllr Dine Romero to The Mission Theatre to see the company’s production of West Side Story - The School Edition. The Mayor, accompanied by her daughter, very much enjoyed the show - the first full-scale musical in the company’s history.
The Mayor and her daughter were met upon arrival by show director Ann Ellison BEM who is also Artistic Director of Next Stage. Ann talked to the guests about the company which is celebrating its 30th birthday next year, and about the talented young cast all of whom have learnt song, dance and fight choreography for West Side Story and many of whom have never sung in public before. After playing to a full house, the cast and crew of the show were delighted to meet with The Mayor and chat about their experiences with Next Stage Youth.
In the theatre’s comment book, The Mayor wrote:
“We’ve had an amazing evening - such an excellent show, great talents, well done to everyone involved and good luck for the rest of the performances."
The Mayor expressed an interest in paying a visit to Next Stage Theatre Company’s other venue, Burdall’s Yard, later this year. Next Stage Youth meet weekly at Burdall’s Yard and enrolment for the autumn term is happening there on Sunday.
